The Wooli community showed how seriously it takes this CZMP, and how closely it will be watching its progress. A deluge of 72 submissions containing about 300 pages was received by Council.This submission illustrates many of the points raised by the community.

A summary of our submissions will accompany the CZMP to a full meeting of Council on June 23 before the final version goes to the NSW Environment Minister by June 30.

We were dismayed at the article’s very negative attitude towards the management of Wooli’s coastal erosion issues, choosing sensationalism about Wooli falling into the sea over researched facts and the positive work CCPA, Dunecare and Clarence Valley Council are doing to prevent this happening.

In both these you can see we pointed out the reporter’s misrepresentation of the facts and his avoidance of not only the main focus of the Emergency Plan but also the improved condition of the beach and our research program.
